Engineered boundary walls - effective in commercial,residential and industrial situations
DSM Split-Face masonry produced meets architectural demands for aesthetics, but at the same time has a practical and functional use, cost effective and maintenance free.
An important aspect of free-standing walls is their ability to withstand the high wind loads that are experienced in the Cape. This wall structure is 1.8 M above ground level and can be constructed to a hight of 2.1m in 5m panels of 140mm hollow concrete masonry. Thisdesign has become standard.
